HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEL!!!!!!!

First off, I’m sure she’s going to see this as soon as I save it to post, but oh well. Surprising Laura is a very difficult task… especially if it involves posting something by surprise on the blog. I figured I would at least try!

For those of you who aren’t aware of how this whole web site works, let me give you a brief run down. We have loads of Google alerts that come into our admin e-mail as well as dozens of direct e-mails from websites and companies that want us to post information. First thing every morning, because she lives on the east coast and wakes up before me… and because she doesn’t have a kindergärtner who can’t get herself ready for school, Laura goes through these hundreds – yes HUNDREDS – of e-mails to find the ones that are interesting and that aren’t just a rehash of the stuff we already know. Jen and I do it occasionally… and I do mean occasionally… but it’s only when Laura is sick or traveling or in a meeting or something of the like. She pretty much writes up every post that you read here. I’ll tell her if I found something that didn’t hit the google alerts, but that’s rare. And let’s not forget that she debunks the majority of fake posters, interviews, lawsuits… you name it! She’s a little scary that way, truth be told! So basically, Laura does all the grunt work on the blog. She also works a full time job, is a wife and mother cleaning laundry and fixing dinner, and some how in there manages to direct a few plays! She’s an amazing woman and everyone who enjoys this website – myself included – is indebted to her.

If you’d like to wish Laura a happy birthday – and hey, why wouldn’t you? Leave a post below with a favorite memory or quote or something relating to Pel. Happy Birthday to the best chick I know!

Happy Birthday Pel!
I just want to say that without the Lex, I would be lost! haha! seriously. I used yours and Alphie’s reviews of New Moon as a source for my English final this semester. Which i aced, so i am indeed indebted to you!

You go girl!!!! Happy b-day Pel!!!!! Your efforts to make the best place on the net for the twifans hang out are apreciated for all of us – the fans-.
I don’t have words enough to say thank you… but @ least I wish a very “FANGTASTIC” day!!!! 😀 😀 😀

Happy Birthday! My first memory of you, Pel, is meeting in UT for the Host signings and enjoying all your fandom stories. But my favorite memory now is hearing of your red carpet experience and accidentally taping someone’s rear end. Hope you have a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday Pel! I hope you have a wonderful day. The main reason I first came to this site is because Stephenie Meyer recommended it in her books. What a compliment! Like so many others, this is the first thing I check everyday. Thank you for all your hard work on this site. I have met such great people on the forums, so if it wasn’t for this place, I never would have met them. And one of my favorite things you do is putting people in their place in the “comments” sometimes. 🙂 Thank you for running a great site!!!

Thanks a gazillion for your amazing work on Twilight Lexicon; yours and my local Twi website in Singapore are the only two that I have bookmarked and check into VERY REGULARLY…bordering on OBSESSIVELY, at times! 🙂

Cheers and here’s to another great year filled with all things Twilight!

Wow, Laura you ARE an amazing woman! I didn’t know who did all this stuff for the website, but now I do and I appreciate it. I love Twilight,i’m a HUGE, GINORMOUS, fan:) Twilight Lexicon is in fact my homepage:!) Thank you, Happy Birthday!!

Holy Cow, lady! I always figured that this website WAS your full time job! To find out that you do all the other stuff on top of it just blows my mind… and I thought I was a busy working mom… you just put me to shame! ha ha. Thank you THANK YOU for all you do for us crazy Twilight fans! It is very VERY VERY much appreciated! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Laura. I would just like to tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to this website, I’m hooked!! Like everyone said before me it is nice to know that rumors are debunked here. Keep up the good work!! Have a great Birthday you deserve it!!
